| 2008 | FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE | MY FIANCEE AND I RECENTLY PURCHASED A BRAND NEW(HAD 7 MILES ON WHEN WE GOT IT) 2008 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. IN ABOUT THE THIRD WEEK OF OWNERSHIP, WE TOOK A ROAD TRIP OUT OF STATE. WHILE RETURNING HOME, ON THE NY STATE THRUWAY, THE CAR BEGAN TO SHAKE AND SHUDDER, AND LOSE SPEED RAPIDLY. THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND I PULLED OVER TO THE SHOULDER. AFTER ABOUT HALF AN HOUR, I TRIED TO DRIVE AGAIN AND HAD THE SAME PROBLEMS. WE WERE TOWED OFF OF THE THRUWAY, THEN TO A HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP BY HRA, WHERE THEY LOOKED AT THE VEHICLE FOR A MORNING. THE PROBLEM WAS DIAGNOSED AS 'BAD GAS'. WE WERE TOLD TO BUY A CONTAINER OF DRY GAS AND SENT ON OUR WAY. THE CAR SEEMED TO BEHAVE FOR ABOUT 5 DAYS, THEN THE NEXT WEEKEND I VENTURED OUT OF TOWN AGAIN IN MY STILL NEW CAR. ABOUT AN HOUR INTO MY TRIP, THE CAR STARTED SHUDDERING AND SHAKING ON INTERSTATE 84. I PULLED OFF AT THE NEAREST EXIT, AND THE CAR DIED COMPLETELY. I WAS NOT IN A SAFE LOCATION, SO I TRIED TO START IT TO MOVE THE CAR. IT WOULD NO LONGER START. I GOT TOWED ALL THE WAY HOME AT GREAT EXPENSE TO MYSELF, AND BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT IT. AFTER 5 COMPLETE DAYS OF WORKING ON THE CAR, THEY REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP. I AM NOW READING THAT OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD SIMILAR PROBLEMS, SOMETIMES WITH FAR WORSE CONSEQUENCES. I HAVE NOT YET OPERATED MY NEW CAR ON A HIGHWAY SINCE THE FUEL PUMP REPLACEMENT, BUT I PLAN TO TONIGHT, AND AM QUITE NERVOUS ABOUT IT. *TR |
